cause a (VAL TOO BIG) error message. When
specifying a list of boot devices, separate the device
names using commas. Do not use spaces. The console
checks the length of the device name, but does not
interpret or validate it. The console converts the string to
uppercase, then passes the VMB program a string
containing the device name in R0. Use the SET BOOT
command to specify a default boot device or list of
devices. Use the SHOW BOOT command to display the
default boot device. The factory default device is the
Ethernet device, EZA0.
Table C-1 in Appendix C lists the boot devices supported
by the MicroVAX 3100 Model 88/98 systems.
Examples:
>>> SHOW BOOT

The CONTINUE command causes the processor to begin instruction execution at the
address currently contained in the program counter (PC). This address is the address stored
in the PC when the system enters console mode or the address that the user specifies using
the DEPOSIT command. The CONTINUE command does not perform a processor
initialization.
